Hardik Pandya climbs to top 3 in ICC T20I all-rounder rankings; Arshdeep Singh impresses in bowling charts

After his impressive performances in Gwalior, he climbed to the third position in the ICC T20I all-rounder rankings, trailing behind England's Liam Livingstone (first) and Nepal's Dipendra Singh Airee (second). Additionally, he surged up the batting charts by seven places, now ranking 60th overall.

In the bowling charts, Arshdeep Singh made an entry to the top 10 with an eight-point jump and is now placed at the eighth spot. He is the lone Indian in the top 10 after he claimed three wickets against Bangladesh in Gwalior. The left-arm pacer is leading the Indian pace unit in the series as Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are being rested for the upcoming red-ball season. He achieved a new career-high rating - 642 - after an impressive show in the series opener.

Arshdeep made his debut just two years ago but has already played 55 T20Is, including two World Cups.

"I am enjoying my game and didn't even realise how these two years flew by. I just try and stay in the present, enjoy the highs and lows, that is my focus," Arshdeep said ahead of the second T20I against Bangladesh on Tuesday.

Washington Sundar, who claimed a wicket in the first T20I, gained four places to move to 35th on the same list, with experienced spinner Adil Rashid still holding on to the top spot.

The Men in Blue will look to seal the series on Wednesday in the second match which is expected to be a high-scoring affair. In the five matches that the Arun Jaitley Stadium hosted in the IPL earlier this year, teams crossed the 200-run mark eight times.
